Of the top ten teams, only Nebraska and Michigan State still have dual meet competition remaining during the indoor season.

The big competition taking place this week is a renewal of the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry, due to take place at Grand Valley State's indoor facility in Allendale, Michigan. Their last one-on-one matchup was in 1982, and the Wolverines lead the all-time series with 19 wins to the Spartans' 2 wins, with one tie. An undercard of sorts will take place earlier in the afternoon when Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan and Hillsdale take on Grand Valley State.
